VIDEO-Jackass 3/3.5

Every so often, a movie comes along that changes your life. It permanently alters the way you see the world. That movie makes you aspire to greater things and believe they are possible. That movie becomes an achievement in itself as it continues to influence succeeding generations with its message. This is not that movie.

Jackass 3 is simply pure gross out slapstick fun brought by Johnny Knoxville and Company who have been doing this shit for a decade. This flick was made for 3D, so this gets lost in the translation to 2D. But you will still laugh out loud at this one. I don't think this installment of the series is as good as the first 2. The Jackass Gang seems as if they are repeating themselves. But the gags still deliver whether it is watching Steve-O being covered in shit inside a port-o-jon attached to bungee cords or simply watching Bam Margera do piss assassinations on unsuspecting Jackasses. This volume also features penis tricks, poo shooting from a guy's ass, and a guy with an amazing ability to suck air into his anus and produce farts on command. From this rough sampling, you can see that Jackass 3 delivers the goods.

Jackass 3.5 is all the shit they couldn't put in the first movie. Some of it is because there was no way they could get an "R" rating. Then, there is Steve-O's trick with fire where he gets burnt. That is something new for Jackass as they have never fucked with fire before. After Steve-O's stunt, I doubt they will again. If you watch 3, then you have to watch 3.5.

Do I recommend these movies? Yes, I do. It isn't sophisticated humor, but that's the point. Sometimes, humor just needs to be absolutely fucking stupid. I love these guys, and I hope they keep making these movies.
